In this episode Ben and Jackson are joined by a very speedy guest, James Hansen. James spent years as a professional runner. 3:36 for 1500m. 28:20 for 10k. A 62-minute half marathon. A win at the La Roche-Posay 10k in July.This year in June he walked into a gym and had a crack at a few HYROX movements. Three weeks later he raced Sydney in 57:57. Seven weeks after that, he ran 55:47 in Perth in the open divison, one of the fastest open times ever posted by an Australian. A few days ago he announced he's leaving pro running, at his peak, to do HYROX full time. He will be racing his first Pro Debut in December. In this episode we get into:What happened in that first gym sessionWhy James always felt his body wasn't built just to runHow James is preparing for hyrox (coaching and programming)why the stair master will be an asset for himWhat the "real sport" crowd get wrong about HYROXWhere the two minutes between Sydney and Perth came fromJackson's prediction for James' pro debut in Melbourne: It's on record, and we're not deleting this episode if he's wrong 😂Why a 3:18/km opening split won't feel hot to himHis advice for runners thinking about crossing overFor Training options form Ben or Jackson hit the links belowLinks- Join HPP Team, 15% off for founding members⁠- Become a founding Sparkie Member⁠- ⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠

Big news to open this one. Ben let slip that Jake Williamson follows the podcast, and there's a real chance we've locked him in for Episode 100. No promises yet. Ben is slightly obsessed with the man, so if it falls through, he'll need a minute.Here's the thing: the more this episode gets shared, the better our odds. So send it to a mate.Then we chew the fat on VO2 max training. What it actually is, why it matters for hybrid athletes, how to build it without wrecking yourself, and where it fits in a polarised week. After that, we work through your burning questions from the DMs.Links⁠- Become a founding Sparkie Member⁠- ⁠Follow us on Instagram⁠- ⁠1:1 Coaching with Coach Jackson

097: 7 Lessons From A Sub-57 Teacher | Luke BrothertonToday Ben and Jackson are joined by a very special guest; Luke Brotherton. Luke teaches all day, and by night he's in the Army Reserves, and he recently ran 56:47, not once but twice in Sydney and at Perth for 4th place at both events. Fourteen seconds off the podium, including a hundred unbroken wall balls to hold it.Two years ago he was 1:04. He's also never worn a heart rate strap.7 things we got into:It's never the training that limits you, it's the recoveryWhy heart rate data can be uselessTraining on feel, and how it saves you on a bad dayWhere training by feel lets you down How you lose a race in the first halfWhat putting the ball down actually costs at this levelTraining around a job instead of pretending you don't have oneWe also talk about the new points system, and what it's like when your coach is the fastest guy in the country and he's just gone public about needing more balance.Ps dont prounounce his last name wrong please, it's "Brother-ton"Listen now, link in bio.

Overtraining Part 2. Ep 096:Ben and Jackson discuss all things on climbing out of the hole you have gotten yourself in. How long it actually takes, what fixes it, what makes it worse, and how each of us got back to training properly.This is the way out. Why the answer is almost never total rest, and why most people come back too early and too hard and end up right back where they started.Inside the episode:Why complete rest is rarely the answer, and what to do insteadHow long it actually takes, days for overreaching, weeks to months for the real thingSleep and food as the treatment, and why under-eating keeps people stuck in itThe signs you're coming back, resting HR settling, HRV climbing, wanting to train againReintroducing intensity without repeating the exact thing that put you thereBuilding a week that won't do it to you twice, real deloads, honest easy days, and reading the trend instead of the dayWhat worked for the two of us, and how long each of us really tookListen now, link in bio.
